Jessica Star Rockers is a blue-collar princess with the Midwestern roots to prove it. Her debut cd, Beloved On Earth, is currently available from cdbaby.com. Part acoustic folk-pop, part indie rock, she uses raw guitar chords to back modern-day Jonie Mitchell vocals. The musical genre could be labeled Northwest Indie Folk: acoustic indie folk influenced by the sweet melancholy of the Pacific Northwest, with intensely raw and intimate lyrics backed by stark harmonies.
"There’s a real sense of the rainy Pacific Northwest... of claustrophobia and malaise, that confusion sometimes reigns in the best of situations. This is never overdone or self-pitying... just a recognition of everyday driftless feelings, made compelling by Rockers’ sweet, unaffected vocals."

"The nine songs sit cross-legged between yesterday's folk and today's indie rock, all plaintive strums and contemplative musings awash in cavernous reverb."
-The Bainbridge Review.
"Imagine Cat Power making 'Exile in Guyville' with a little advice from The Roches."
-iTunes.
"Folky and surreal. That is how I best describe Jessica Star Rockers. I feel like I’m sitting two feet away just kicking back and lounging while she plays her music for me."
-Madalyn Sklar, GoGirls Music
